This is the first hand drawn feature length picture Walt Disney Animation Studios has produced since the mixed critical and financial results of 2004’s Home on The Range. Every animated film released...

These feel good/true story sports films come out more often than not and always have the same sweet tooth ending.

Invictus is the story of Nelson Mandela (Morgan Freeman) and how he brought his country together. When Mandela became the first black President of South Africa his country had been split into two factions: those who wanted revenge...

Please welcome our new writer, Mendie to your laptops. She will be contributing some TV shows weekly. I have been following her blog, The Spectator for some time now and we think she will make a nice addition to Lost In Reviews. As I sat on my couch watching the latest episode of Scrubs 2.0 I couldn’t help but to think that after 8 years JD should be a little less absorbed in what Dr. Cox thinks about him. I felt as though I was back watching the first couple of years of the show, except this time it made no sense that...

It is rare that I am excited about a new band, but this band from Los Angeles has blown me away with their music and style and stage presence. When I saw them opening for Airborne Toxic Event back in September, I described them as “a rock ‘n roll band with a twist of rockabilly and a hint of an homage to the 50’s when the harmonica was cool and men used to roll a pack of cigarettes up in the sleeve of their t-shirts.” You can...

The humor remains in A Christmas Story even when set to song. Retaining it’s namesakes comedy lineage A Christmas Story, The Musical! at the Kansas City Repertory Theater brings the laughs but still feels much like its central character, young and eager but needing a chance to mature to be fully appreciated. Don’t mistake me, it’s fun for the whole family and a welcome change of pace from the last several interpretations of Dickens a Christmas Carol. It’s just that this feels like its in development as...
